Notes:
1. The 2nd cycle Vega Gull found in San Diego County on 01 January 2025 was first observed offshore on a pelagic trip, and then, amazingly, relocated days later some 35 miles away, inland at Lower Otay Reservoir. It was still being seen as of 31 January 2025.
2. Perhaps the most anticipated site in Texas where a Gray Gull would be found, a 1st State Record was found at the Brownsville Landfill by Justin LeClaire on 03 January 2025.
3. Over the years Michigan has aggregated 8 Common/Mew Gull records, pre-split, without a specific designation given to most of these. Only 2 of these have been accepted as bona fide brachyrhynchus, now Short-billed Gull. Thus, the Mason County individual from 13 January 2025 should be a 3rd State Record.
